74 for me. Not bad. :) You will notice that I didn't cross anything out. My dad raised me to try everything once when it came to food. It is a habit that I have tried to keep up with my boys. (they do however have their father's stuborness and limited palate) I will admit that the whole insects will probably require a few shots and some egging on tho...
Oh, and all of the shellfish ones were before I found out I was allergic. Seriously, My dad gave me my first oyster when I was like 10 years old.
A few of those, aloo gobi & eggs benedict, are like my last meals. I'm on death row, what do I want to eat? ooh, spicy potatoes and cauliflower. total craving comming on now....
